BJP corporators alleged huge irregularities in GHMC’s agreement with the Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL) with regard to the leachate treatment agreement at the Jawaharnagar solid waste management facility.
Addressing a press conference on Monday, the BJP delegation led by Corporator Devara Karunakar, alleged that the extent of the leachate ponds and the quantity of leachate to be treated has been exaggerated in order to benefit the agency.
As per an earlier estimate by GHMC, the area of Malkaram Lake together with the 12 artificial leachate ponds which empty into the lake was 1,47,088 square metres, and the quantity of leachate-mixed water to be treated was estimated to be 6,63,861 kilolitres.
